The 5/6th class took a dip in the pool for their first trip to Evergreen. What most impressed us was the outpouring of support that peers had for each other. In order to swim in the deep end of the pool, students had to pass a swim test that involves swimming the length of the pool and then treading water for 45 seconds. This is daunting! However, we saw them cheering each other on, waiting with bated breath to see if they passed, and even volunteering to swim alongside them so they would be more comfortable! It was outstanding!
The second, third and fourth graders, experienced their first time at the rock climbing gym. They began with some free climbing to learn the rules and the basics. Then they completed a fun obstacle course that included a swing, balance beam and navigating the bottom of the wall. Then they were ready for the bigger climbs, the ones that require required them to learn how to put on harnesses. Understandably a few students were very nervous in the beginning however, because they practiced individual skills before the harder climbs they were more confident. Mrs. Jewell was so impressed by the teamwork, growth mindset and tenaciousness that she saw today!
Today was our first Evergreen Sports Center trip! The kindergarten/first graders found their inner balance, overcame obstacles and tumbled like pros! While some of our friends began the day in tears because they were nervous, with the support of their friends everyone was able to be successful!
We invited the Plymouth State University TIGER program to the school on 3/21. TIGER (Theatre, Integrating, Guidance, Education, Responsibility) is a musical theatre program designed to teach positive behavioral strategies for common challenges that young people face. We chose the “True Blue” show, which is "a musical journey exploring authenticity and standing up for what's right." This show helps students understand the importance of being true to themselves while supporting others. Throughout the show, students learned to use the acronym T.I.G.E.R. to Trust others, Include others, Give to others, Empower each other, and Respect each other.

On Friday, we used our scooters around an obstacle course, to play freeze dance, and to play Red Light/Green Light. Scooters are great for gross motor development by engaging student's core muscles, legs, and arms as they push themselves along.
